Summary
A unique double Master’s Programme run jointly with Imperial College London for 40 years. Innovation through synergy between creativity, science and technology to create value for society. Study at the World's number one ranked art and design university, and the number 7 ranked university globally.
On the Innovation Design Engineering MA/MSc (IDE) you will take advantage of the skills and cultures of two very different organisations. The result is the rigour and precision of science, technology and engineering in combination with the inspirational and creative aspects of design.
Our interdisciplinary approach focuses on the exploration and development of impactful innovation through critical observation, disruptive design thinking, experimentation, exploration of emergent technologies, advanced engineering and enterprise activities.
We want students who are ready to be exposed to multiple perspectives and expertise. People who can critically question the present to envisage the creation of new human experiences, system-based dynamics that foster behavioural change and generate cultural, economic and societal value.
